Yup.
People think that IZ requirements force developers to take lower profit margins. In reality, developers have to deliver competitive returns to investors so IZ means nothing gets built until market rate rents are high enough to cover development costs *and* the necessary cross subsidy for BMR units.

He never said anything about whether it was special occasion dining or not, he said it was garish which it is!
I think it's fine that Barack Obama made fun of The Cheesecake Factory but also you are kidding yourself if you don't think there are Americans who consider The Cheesecake Factory to be fancy, special occasion dining. Multiple things can be true.

Post 1948, Israel has always been at war with every surrounding country. If Israelis truly want peace they have to reject everything that they have done since 1948.

Antizionism is anti-Jewish @madisonkittay.bsky.social and remains anti-Jewish and will continue to be anti-Jewish.
"Antizionism isn't antisemitism." said all the new Nazis as they adjusted their keffiyehs to drape stylishly. "We're just making maps of all the Jewish businesses in Barcelona for AWARENESS."

I'm sorry, no Israel will be taken down by American going down. Also @stelek.bsky.social the left lost its moral standing with Planter.

In August, @liberalcurrents asserted that my brain had been "[microwaved]" by the internet b/c I questioned polling accuracy/transparency & the motivations of some individuals. Here is 1) the passage from LibCurrents & 2) the tweets they linked to. My brain doesn't seem so microwaved now, does it?
As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"
Antizionism is Jew hatred.
A Jewish child had to explain why gas chamber taunts were wrong. Now adults are sneering at evidence of antisemitism in schools. What the fuck has happened to this country? My latest on the Bell report and the people trying to discredit it. mrandrewfox.substack.com/p/the-canary...

p.s. i do not for a second believe that there is a grand conspiracy to use AI to take people’s cognition away from them or drive them into submission — it’s a very reactionary narrative and framing that shifts the focus away from what’s actually happening and onto a hallucinated fairy tale

you can say you think this flavor of conservatism is good, but you can’t tell me it’s not conservatism to appeal to traditional values & old fashioned ways of doing things i think reading books is amazing and more people should do it regularly, but you will never see me frame it like AOC did here
pdr1985.bsky.social reposted
“doing things the old fashioned way is an act of resistance” i like AOC and would vote for her, but i’m not a fan of how conservatism is gaining traction in progressive movements
AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"
